»My soul must sing itself happy,« says tenor Rolando Villazón. He is one of the leading artists of our time and inspires audiences around the world with uniquely captivating performances full of energy and dedication. There is no city in the world that he has not yet sung in, no festival at which he has not been a star guest. Rolando Villazón is not only a gifted world tenor, director and head of the Salzburger Mozartwoche, but also a cultural ambassador for Mexico, caricaturist, novelist and presenter. He recently delighted ProArte audiences with his Latin American song recital alongside harpist Xavier de Maistre. He now returns to ProArte’s »Great Voices« series with the period ensemble lautten compagney BERLIN: together they take us on a moving musical journey into the world of Claudio Monteverdi and his subtle compositional miniatures from 17th century Venice.

Kurt Rosenwinkel, who has worked with musicians such as Eric Clapton, Gary Burton and Brad Mehldau, is one of the most important voices on the Berlin and global jazz scene as a guitarist, composer and producer.

Carl-Philipp-Emanuel-Bach-Chor Hamburg / Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin / Hansjörg Albrecht

Sun, Apr 20, 2025, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Carl-Philipp-Emanuel-Bach-Chor Hamburg, Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, Hansjörg Albrecht (Director)

The Magnificat by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, in which Mary expresses her love for God, but in which Mary is also celebrated as the epitome of love among mankind, forms the jubilant prelude to the final concert of this year’s International Bach Festival Hamburg with its youthful fire. In this concert, father and son face each other. Can the younger one stand up to the comparison with the older one? Can the son emancipate himself from the father with whom he was trained and learnt? The performers for this musical comparison are the Carl-Philipp-Emanuel-Bach-Choir Hamburg, the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin and Hansjörg Albrecht.

Musikfest Berlin: Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Joana Mallwitz

Sat, Sep 14, 2024, 20:00

Konzerthaus Berlin, Großer Saal (Berlin)

Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Joana Mallwitz (Conductor), Sarah Aristidou (Soprano), Tamara Stefanovich (Piano), Christina Bauer (Sound design)

For the second time in a row, the Konzerthausorchester and chief conductor Joana Mallwitz will be guests at the Musikfest. The solo parts in both works on the programme will be sung by the French-Cypriot soprano Sarah Aristidou, who has made a name for herself particularly in the field of contemporary music. In 1971, composer Luigi Nono met with artists and politicians in Chile, including Luciano Cruz Aguayo, one of the leaders of the Revolutionary Left. Back in Italy, he learnt of the young man's accidental death. Nono then composed a kind of ‘secular requiem’ for the activist, which was intended not only to convey grief but also the motivation to continue his social struggle. To this end, the composer set a memorial poem by Julio Huasi to Luciano, which was also given the title ‘Como una ola de fuerza y luz’ (Like a wave of strength and light). Among Mahler's symphonies, No. 4 is comparatively straightforward in terms of instrumentation and length. There is ‘much laughter’ in it, the composer assured us in a letter after its completion in 1901. However, the feeling that hilarity and horror exist side by side and that the idyll is not to be trusted creeps in as soon as the retuned solo violin plays in the second movement. And if you listen very carefully to the text of the ambiguous Wunderhorn song ‘Das himmlische Leben’, you will learn that, at least for the ox and lamb, heaven in the land of milk and honey is not full of violins, as a German saying goes.

Musikfest Berlin 2024

Fri, Sep 6, 2024, 20:00

Philharmonie Berlin (Berlin)

Kazuki Yamada (Conductor), Julian Prégardien (Tenor), Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin

Many people consider Julian Prégardien a Frenchman, but in fact he comes from a clan of tenors from Frankfurt. He first sang to praise the Lord as a choirboy; as a teenager, he was crazy about the rock band Nirvana. But he ultimately could not escape the family genes: a Berliner by choice, he has become a modern singer with a melts-in-your-mouth tenor voice. At the Musikfest Berlin he will transform into Mahler’s wayfarer in love, yearning for the »blue eyes of my beloved«, as it says in one of the songs.

Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, RIAS Kammerchor Berlin

Tue, Apr 8, 2025, 19:00

Konzerthaus Berlin, Großer Saal (Berlin)

Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, RIAS Kammerchor Berlin, Justin Doyle (Conductor), Elisabeth Breuer (Soprano), Anna Lucia Richter (Mezzo-Soprano), Patrick Grahl (Tenor), Thomas Hobbs (Tenor), Matthew Brook (Bass), Stephan Loges (Bass)

Really old and extremely lively: For many seasons now, the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin has been demonstrating how thrilling music from the 17th to the early 19th century can sound in its own series at the Konzerthaus Berlin.Bach's „St Matthew Passion“ was premiered for the second time in 1829 - in the Singakademie building in Berlin, which is now home to the Maxim Gorki Theatre. The conductor was Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, who was only twenty years old. He paved the way for a Bach renaissance with the version he arranged and shortened. In the era of Viennese Classicism, Bach's music had simply hardly ever been performed. The Passion, however, which was first presented to the congregation of St Thomas' Church in Leipzig in 1727, is one of the most haunting musical depictions of the story of the crucifixion.

Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Iván Fischer

Fri, Nov 8, 2024, 19:00

Konzerthaus Berlin, Großer Saal (Berlin)

Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Iván Fischer (Conductor), Vocalconsort Berlin, Samuel Mariño (Soprano), Deniz Uzun (Mezzo-Soprano)

Mozart's “Magic Flute” is a masterpiece of the 18th century that reflects the moral concepts of the time with regard to the roles of men and women. Iván Fischer wants to confront parts of this favorite opera with 21st century values. He concentrates on well-known arias and scenes: Reversed gender roles of central characters invite an unexpected new listening experience as well as reflection. For example, a King of the Night, interpreted by the outstanding countertenor Samuel Mariño, appears as the antagonist of the powerful Sarastra, sung by Deniz Uzun. Iván Fischer also plays with the music itself, for example when he has the famous overture performed not only by the Konzerthausorchester but also by the Vocalconsort Berlin.
